John Willinsky's (2005) excellent book on Open Access is now available
Open Access. Its only short-coming is that it makes absolutely no mention
of its predecessor, the first book on Open Access, edited by Okerson &
O'Donnell (1995), published over a decade earlier:

    Okerson, A.S. & O'Donnell, J.J. (1995) (Eds.) Scholarly
    Journals at the Crossroads: A Subversive Proposal for
    Electronic Publishing. Association of Research Libraries.
    http://www.arl.org/sc/subversive/

    Willinsky, J. (2005) The Access Principle: The Case
    for Open Access to Research and Scholarship MIT Press
